Blood for the Baron!

that's the most reasonably priced figure he has on offer, can't understand why he has the crimson guard at almost twice the price

People relax! Every seller is free to ask the price he wants! Don't like the price? Turn around, walk away.

Blahblahblahblahblah! Just because you were too (whatever) to pay too much, does not mean others are as well.

'Golden Puma was being sarcastic when he said you'd get more on ebay, he was hinting that all of your prices are just too high.'

moi, sarcastic, don't know the meaning of the word. Now, stirrer, that's more appropriate

No-one is forcing you to sell. Please don't get stroppy, nobody here has insulted you.

Well, I can see your all moaning on prices....How many times have I said PM me with offers?

Oh well, ebay it is.....

Mate, the only one moaning here is you. Go to ebay, and if they don't sell there you're welcome to come back here and try again at a more reasonable rate. Yes, you've clearly stated that you are prepared to negotiate by PM, but when people have tried to discuss it with you here on the forum all you've done is turn snide and sarcastic.

Everybody has said that your prices are too steep, I took one look and walked away - I wouldn't pay half that. Sure, if it was a super rare item that I couldn't find elsewhere then I'd push the boat out, but that's maybe. If it was just one person disagreeing then they might be trying to pull a fast one, but not when it's everyone.

So, next time, post some pictures of the toys so we can see the quality. Do an inventory using the site archive so that when people ask about accessories you know the answer. Be prepared to negotiate, as many of us have stated we do swaps and freebies all the time for the love of it, this is a fun hobby, not a business.

Please don't type in capitals using mutliple exclamation marks; it is regarded as shouting. And when a forum mod asks you politely to stop being stroppy, cut it the f*ck out.

have you considered putting them in the free adds paper?, just a idea, in the past i have used this method and its proved to be successful in shifting gear....

Happy Easter

I was just about to upload pics when I saw this Baron.....how nice of you. Well, f*ck that now. To answer your missive, well, having been a long time collector I do know pics help, hence having taken a shitload that was going to be posted for all and sundry to see....Inventorising missing parts? Done that, having had the items in the attic and being busy I can't exactly keep a mental record of whats there and not there for years and years.....Finally, caps locked shouting? Where? How? Being snide? Sarcastic? Me? Hmmmm.....given the replies I've had from others thats a bit rich coming from you....or haven't you seen the previous pages?

Well, seems the forums extremely welcoming....not. If I wanted swops I'd have asked for them, I don't. You seem to think Im moaning over prices, well, 3 pages of you lot whinging over it seems a bit hypocritical....Thanks for the 'hearty welcome' guys and gal but it seems ebays the way forward, especially as this so called 'fun hobby not a business' can garner such snide reactions as this. I repeatedly asked you lot to simply PM me with offers, but instead I got moaning....so, ebay it will be.

I think the guys on here are just trying to tell you that your prices are a bit high, people have given examples of "the going rate" in order to try and help you out, not because they are trying to haggle the price down.

I know you are open to offers, however I would feel uncomfortable making an offer on any of these items because my offer would probably be about a third of your "price in mind" also offers cant be made on something that cant be seen.

I think if these were listed on ebay as "buy it now's" then possibly non of them would sell, so your ebay fees and your time would be wasted.

I think before you sell any of these items, perhaps you should check out what people are trying to tell you and perhaps research the going rate on ebay ?

Although do bear in mind that a lot of "buy it now's" on ebay are overpriced.

...or you could just ignore everything everyone says and throw a sulk.

Seriously man, you are over-reacting. I have indeed read the last three pages, and everyone has been polite, practically embarassed at having to disagree with you, nobody has insulted you or laughed at your prices. I swore at you because you completely ignored me.

BFTB is one of the friendliest forums in the Collecting Community, you'd have been flamed for your attitude on other sites, and warned, maybe even banned, on others. Feel free to upload your pictures and complete inventory, some collectors keep their toys near-pristine, in which case the extra penny is justified.
